Born And Raised In Black And White
The wind blows hard across the Texas planes
Makes some people go insane
While others quietly pray for rain
That's where we came from
Two boys playing in the burning sun
One with books, one with guns
Mama calls but just one comes
The other one runs
In a christian sense of wrong and right
We were born and raised in black and white
One learned to pray, one learned to fight
We were born and raised in black and white
We were born and raised in black and white
Brother took to the gospel road
Spent his whole life savin' souls
When he looked at me his blood ran cold
He didn't even try
I had no dreams, I had no plans
But a gun felt good in my right hand
The warden asked: How come you killed that man?
I said: I don't know why
Welcome home said the hot moonlight
We were born and raised in black and white
One lives to pray, one prays for life
We were born and raised in black and white
We were born and raised in black and white
Someone handed me a cigarette
They offered me my last request
I asked my mortal soul be blessed
By someone close to me
He came to me with trembling hands
He swore he'd never understand
I said it's just what life had planned
It's destiny
Don't waste your tears on me tonight
We were born and raised in black and white
I chose the dark, you chased the light
We were born and raised in black and white
We were born and raised in black and white
The wind blows hard across the Texas plains
Makes some people go insane
While others quietly pray for rain
Nacido y criado en negra y blanca
El viento sopla duro a través de los aviones de Texas
Hace que algunas personas se vuelven locas
Mientras que otros en silencio oran por la lluvia
De ahí es de donde venimos
dos chicos jugando en el ardiente sol
Uno con libros, otro con armas
Mamá llama, pero sólo viene uno
El otro corre
En un sentido cristiano del mal y del bien
Nacimos y criamos en blancos y blancos
Uno aprendió a orar, uno aprendió a pelear
Nacimos y criamos en blancos y blancos
Nacimos y criamos en blancos y blancos
Hermano llevó al camino del Evangelio
Pasó toda su vida salvando almas
Cuando me miró su sangre se enfrió
Ni siquiera lo intentó
No tenía sueños, no tenía planes
Pero un arma se sentía bien en mi mano derecha
El alcaide preguntó: ¿Cómo es que mataste a ese hombre?
Dije: No sé por qué
Bienvenido a casa dijo que la luz de la luna calurosa
Nacimos y criamos en blancos y blancos
Uno vive para orar, uno ora por la vida
Nacimos y criamos en blancos y blancos
Nacimos y criamos en blancos y blancos
Alguien me dio un cigarrillo
Me ofrecieron mi última petición
Pedí a mi alma mortal ser bendecida
Por alguien cercano a mí
Él vino a mí con las manos temblorosas
Juró que nunca lo entendería
Dije que era justo lo que la vida había planeado
Es el destino
No desperdicies tus lágrimas en mí esta noche
Nacimos y criamos en blancos y blancos
Elegí la oscuridad, tú perseguiste la luz
Nacimos y criamos en blancos y blancos
Nacimos y criamos en blancos y blancos
El viento sopla duro a través de las llanuras de Texas
Hace que algunas personas se vuelven locas
Mientras que otros en silencio oran por la lluvia
